It hinges on universities' capacity to flexibly evolve in response to theevolving demands of the future knowledge workforce, the changing nature of work, and thedynamics of the economy [8].Within this context, this paper offers an expansive examination of the IoT within highereducation institutions, with a particular focus on universities. It delves into a multifacetedexploration, encompassing several emerging trends currently reshaping the landscape of highereducation. Furthermore, it conducts a thorough analysis of the potential
Business Fundamentals for Scientists and Engineers” is to helpthe students understand a business framework of science and technology with emphasis on (i)positioning technology-based ventures in the appropriate value chains, and (ii) assessment ofvalue capture (business) models relevant to product positioning.Technological entrepreneurs (and research managers) have two challenges: Finding theappropriate market application for currently discovered technologies and finding appropriatetechnologies that can create and capture value for a emerging market opportunity. This coursefocuses on the latter. The business fundamentals are taught in the context of identifying anemerging market opportunity. Industries, derived from the student team’s research area

The study sets a usefulbaseline for this paper by mapping the various approaches and outcomes of software engineeringprograms. Their study shows the range of teaching approaches used in such programs. Manyprograms use active learning and project-based strategies that focus on teaching softwareprocesses (requirements, software engineering models and methods, software construction, andsoftware testing).

As the user base increases,more tasks are implemented on the Internet platform. For example 15 years ago mostengineering drawings made in industry were accomplished using traditional drafting instrumentsand paper. As the industry progressed into the personal computer age, the new avenue ofapplying e-mail as a tool emerged, for example engineering technicians send engineeringdrawings across the world from industrial design firms to manufacturers.In just the last seven years another tool, termed Instant Messaging, has become available over theInternet to aid in communication. This tool can be employed into the drafting and

In response, a committee of faculty andindustrial members were gathered in June 2000 to begin answering those questions.The group began by discussing what globalization meant to the industrial members. From thesediscussions, a Vision Goal emerged and four subset areas of further study were identified:Business Relationships, Technical, Education – Business and Cultural, and Regulatory. Next, aprocess for obtaining information from a number of locales pertinent to these subsets was laidout. First, a needs assessment of the aviation industry personnel would be

What is RPM?Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (RPM) is an emerging collection of materials and processtechnologies, design and processing methodologies, and business practices and relationships,which together shorten product development cycles, improve product designs, and reduceproduct development costs. RPM is often associated with additive fabrication processes, such asstereolithography or selective laser sintering, and includes many other prototyping technologies,as well as such conventional processes as CNC machining, and a host of computer-based design,engineering, and analysis tools. RPM is

The first discusses societal events, including how prominent figures of the time evaluated the division of labor and the mechanization of work. In the same class, John Morris's utopian views on the emergence of the garden city English movement are presented along with discussions around the creation of work guilds by English artisans. Following, a lecture on construction technologies is included, with a particular emphasis on the high-rise. In this class, we discuss the

Reviewers first need to see what the designer isproposing and, in turn, show how it could be improved.The OpportunityCollaboration is one of the major promises of the emerging information technologies.The idea is that information represented digitally on the Internet allows for a

As can be the case with other informal STEM learning experiences9,members of communities of color may not identify with – or even be aware of – the MakerMovement and the Maker Community as it currently exists.This lack of awareness and connection to the Maker Community by members of traditionallyunderrepresented audiences may become a growing challenge for the STEM community,particularly

Studies show that technology and its rapid evolution havethe potential to play a significant role in increasing the engagement of students and improvingtheir overall learning experiences [19]. As the field of technology continues to improve and offernewer and more accessible virtual experiences, scholars turn their attention towards exploringthe role of emerging technologies in facilitating awareness and ultimately assisting students intaking further action [18].Emerging technologies such as augmented reality can create blended learning environments thatcreate new participatory learning methods. Augmented reality allows students to buildknowledge using information they already perceive from

Such an occurrence would impede the return water flow to the low-pressure emergency core cooling and containment spray systems. Students review operating event reports (LERs) and the processes used to mitigate or correct the incident, and formulate solutions to ensure that the event or incident does not reoccur.13.

For example, on the one hand, the humanities professortalked about definitions of the Anthropocene, the historical debate on its emergence as well asthe relationship between the Anthropocene and capitalism. On the other hand, the STEMprofessor took forward this conversation by discussing the role of technology in the makingof the Anthropocene, the transformation of technology from the Pre-Industrial to Post-Industrial age and highlighting its impact on the planet.The students were not merely passive recipients of information but were also co-participantsin their learning experience. They actively participated in the course by responding to

Furthermore, this situation placesspecial responsibility on American educators to guarantee that students at all levels gainexposure and encompass opportunities to pursue quality science, mathematics,engineering, and technology (SMET) education. To ensure that students are receivingquality educational experiences in the above areas, teachers must be competent andcapable of providing their students exemplary learning experiences, yet many educationprograms are currently graduating future teachers that are unprepared to teach science,math, and technology.

Therefore, this application supports closing the gap in engaging technology to support positive long-term impacts for children with speech difficulties. This application was rooted in the literature highlighting how current speech therapy methods often involve repetitive exercises that may disengage young children over time. This work can potentially revolutionize speech therapy delivery by integrating cutting-edge AR technology with sound pedagogical principles.

infused world, many arecalling on teaching Computer Science (CS) and AI across grade bands [2]. This is importanteven if children will not have a disciplinary preference for AI, as being introduced to AI anddeveloping positive attitudes towards CS are necessary steps to developing educated citizenswho will make responsible and knowledgeable decisions about science related issues [3], [4], [5].Integrating AI into the K-12 curriculum, however, is a challenging task. While there areguidelines and emerging frameworks for integrating AI (e.g., [6]), there are currently no nationalstandards for teaching AI in K-12. Further, teachers may not see clear connections between AIand K-12 core standards as GenAI is a rapidly emerging technology and inservice

While classroom modules focus on the fundamental aspects of biofueltechnology that are more suited to the current undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum, theon-line web modules will provide more background knowledge and other resources to assiststudents with understanding classroom modules. In this way, students will not only be exposed tobiofuel technology, but also get fresh stimulus in learning chemical engineering principles. Besidesassisting students with classroom modules, another intended goal of the web modules is to userecently emerged effective teaching strategies combined with the “hot” topic of biofuel to
